WHAT a glittering week it is turning out to be for Irish breeders, riders, owners and producers alike in Ballsbridge for the 144th Dublin Horse Show and we have a lot more top drawer competitions to come this weekend.

Ahead of the yesterday’s flagship Aga Khan Nations Cup final (see above), Greg Broderick, Shane Breen and Bertram Allen won all of the international show jumping competitions on offer over the first two days to the delight of the crowds, while the excitement for the pony show jumping in Simmonscourt reached fever pitch at times and family memories were forged in the theatre of dreams that is the main showing rings.
